UFC veteran Jairzinho Rozenstruik to fight for Dirty Boxing heavyweight title
Jairzinho Rozenstruik is set to fight for gold in the first title fight for Dirty Boxing Championship. The former UFC heavyweight contender has been paired against Rob Perez in a heavyweight title fight that's set to headline Dirty Boxing Championship 3 on Aug. 29 in Miami. The news was announced by the promotion on Tuesday. Advertisement Both Rozenstruik and Perez are coming off wins on the same fight card, Dirty Boxing Championship 2 – which went down last month in Miami. In his promotional debut and first fight since getting released from the UFC, Rozenstruik, 37, defeated Victor Cardoso by second-round TKO. Rozenstruik is a combat sports veteran, having had a lengthy career in kickboxing and MMA. He competed in the UFC for six years, headlining six events and picking up eight stoppage wins. His UFC release caught many by surprise, as he was on a two-fight winning streak before losing to top contender Sergei Pavlovich by decision in February. Perez, 32, stopped MMA veteran Alex Nicholson at Dirty Boxing Championship 2. Unlike Rozenstruik, that was Perez's third appearance with Dirty Boxing Championship. Perez has competed in bareknuckle boxing, regular boxing, and even Power Slap. This article originally appeared on MMA Junkie: UFC veteran booked to fight for Dirty Boxing heavyweight title
